How Often Should You Replace My Windshield Wiper Blades?
Most experts suggest replacing your wiper blades every six to twelve months. If you notice streaking, squeaking, skipping or splitting rubber, it is likely time for a new set. Regular inspections help ensure you have a clear view when you need it most.
How Do You Find the Correct Wiper Blade Size?
The easiest way to find the correct size is to consult your vehicle owner's manual or use a fitment guide. You can also measure the length of your current blades in inches. Note that the driver side, passenger side and rear window often require different sizes.
